There are many people I know who employ, and are employed for very little money. I see ads all the time for full time childcare for toddlers for 150-200 a week. That averages out between $3.75-$5.00 an hour, more if the nanny works more than 40 hours. I most certainly would not work for anything less than a qualified, experienced, loving nanny would (and I don't) but trust me, there are many people out there who work for these wages for many different reasons.. and usually, off the books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-23771307482852942122007-08-09T16:44:00.000-04:002007-08-09T16:44:00.000-04:00Yes, something is awry.I have a mother's helper ty...Yes, something is awry.<BR/>I have a mother's helper type work on weekends.

There are abusive and neglectful nannies out there for sure, but some of this stuff is just trivial. When a person spends 8 hours with a kid, they aren't always going to be plugged in, sometimes you need a mental break. If the kid is safe and occupied, it's okay to not always be 100% perfect and take a personal breather. It just is crazy to expect a nanny to perform in ways that even parents don't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-46720889588924866062007-08-08T20:18:00.000-04:002007-08-08T20:18:00.000-04:00If you break it down I make about 3 dollars an hou...If you break it down I make about 3 dollars an hour...

But since nannying is a job, you have every right to expect to have someone do their job correctly. I would guess that the many jobs do not allow for excessive personal phonecalls on the job. I would also suspect, although I am not certain but I would guess that interacting with the child is part of the nanny job description.<BR/><BR/>Just a hunch, Miss 1-2-3.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-19817775601269502602007-08-08T16:25:00.000-04:002007-08-08T16:25:00.000-04:00OR she pushed and interacted with the child on the...OR she pushed and interacted with the child on the swing next to her and his sadness affected her.<BR/><BR/>The end.<BR/><BR/>again, her kid was on the swings and she was pushing her kid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
